Great to meet you!

Something has been off for a while — maybe you can't sleep, can't focus, can't seem to shake a persistent heaviness that makes everyday life harder than it should be. You've been managing it on your own, but you're ready for something to actually change.

I'm Rebecca Baker, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving adolescents and adults across Iowa. I help people who are living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep disruption, and the stress of major life transitions — and I take a genuinely personalized approach to each person I work with.

My approach to therapy

My care is integrative, personalized, and grounded in evidence — which means I look at the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Medication management is often part of the plan, and I approach it thoughtfully: explaining your options in plain language, starting carefully, and adjusting based on how you actually respond. That clinical side is always paired with supportive strategies you can use right now, so treatment becomes a foundation for lasting resilience, not just symptom relief.

We'll build a plan together — one that reflects your values, your goals, and the realities of your daily life. Not a one-size-fits-all protocol, but something that actually fits you.

What you can expect from me

From our very first session, you'll be in a safe, non-judgmental space. I'll listen carefully to your story, complete a thorough assessment, and walk you through your options clearly. Most clients leave that first visit feeling heard, hopeful, and with a concrete next step. Many begin noticing real changes — better sleep, improved focus, a lift in mood — within the first few weeks.
